“Mr. Leonard, let go of my mother! Do you want to further infuriate my daddy? It won’t go well for you!”
Matteo warned, in the nick of time. Raymond released his grasp as though he was electrocuted. “I’m…
I’m sorry, I didn’t know. I thought…” Raymond stammered. “Mr. Leonard, even if my father isn’t the
president of Hayes Corporation, this is still no way to treat a lady, you got that? You went too far,” Matteo
continued, determined to give Raymond a piece of his mind. After saying that, he stretched out an arm to
pull his unsteady mother to her feet. “Mommy, are you all right?”
Matteo asked concernedly. Sasha was distressed. It was unbelievable that with all the effort she’d made
to leave Avenport behind, this man still managed to track her down. It was a frustrating and
embarrassing experience to be cornered by her past which she sought so desperately to escape. “I’m
fine, Matteo. Mr. Leonard had too much to drink today. Why don’t you bring your sister and we’ll get out
of here,” Sasha smoothed the front of her skirt and tried to appear calm and dignified. The boys were
speechless, as was Sebastian who had just rescued her. He gritted his teeth in irritation at her

After she’d kidnapped his sons, he not only did not teach her a lesson, yet rescued her at the first
chance he got. He’s reinforcing the notion that she has nothing to fear from him, is that it? If this is the
way she wants to play, so be it. Sebastian’s temper flared up again. With a wave of his hand, a guard
snapped to attention and marched smartly into the room. “Mr. Hayes,” said the guard. “Take the
children.” Sebastian ordered. “Yes, Mr. Hayes,” he complied. “What are you doing, Sebastian? What right
do you have to take them away from me?” Sasha cried in fear and held them close to her bosom. “Me?
Wasn’t that what you were doing?” Sebastian laughed coldly. “You whisked all three away without a word
before. Have some sense of shame.”
At that, he gestured at his guard to grab the children. Sasha went berserk. Without regard for the scene
she was causing, she grabbed her skirt and ran after them, screaming “Sebastian, you monster! You
return my kids to me. They are mine, do you hear me?” Her heart-wrenching sobs and yells followed
Sebastian to his car. Luke, who was at the driver’s seat, glanced uneasily at the rearview mirror. He
could see the stumbling and deranged figure of Sasha in pursuit. “Mr. Hayes, perhaps there is a better
way to handle this. Like it or not, Ms. Wand is still their mother.” He meant to say “This is no way to treat
a lady”, but thought the better of it. It was a cold night, and she was in the street in a thin skirt with no
coat on. She may even risk freezing to death just to get her children back. However, the powerful and
mighty Sebastian was not moved.
After an indifferent glance at the rearview mirror, he ordered, “Slow down to 40mph.” Luke was
perplexed. 40mph? He must have misheard his employer. 40mph outpaces a limping snail, but just
barely. But, as soon as he did as instructed, he understood Sebastian’s intention. The figure behind them
stopped when she realized that she would not be able to catch up. But the sight of the vehicle slowing
down seemed to give her hope, and she started giving chase again with renewed vigor. Luke wasn’t sure
to feel amusement or horror at his boss’s sadism. After maintaining this ludicrous speed for about twenty
minutes, Luke caught sight of Sasha stumbling and toppling over, too cold and exhausted to stand. “Ms.
W- “ Luke exclaimed.

frost of the night. Under the dimly lit streetlamps shrouded by fog, Luke watched, dumbfounded, as
Sebastian bent over and picked up the limp woman with uncharacteristic gentleness. So, this was done on purpose? The unconscious Sasha was placed in the car and the party proceeded with their journey.
She, along with her children, was brought to a hotel owned by Sebastian. The hotel bearing his name
was second to none in size and decor. Matteo said nothing throughout the entire trip.
Being a cheerful and upbeat child, he was looking unusually somber. Even upon checking in, he stood
holding his sister whilst glaring at his father without a word. The events of the night had greatly angered
him. Sebastian easily deduced this. “Matteo, are you mad at me?” he asked. Matteo did not answer. He
maintained vicious eye contact with his father and clenched his fists. These two children have completely
different attitudes when it comes to treating their parents. Before Sebastian arrived at the manor, Ian
follows his mother but thinks about his father the most. When Sasha was in trouble, Matteo was the one
to defend their mother. It is likely the consequence of being raised by two entirely different adults.
